Gerald Fletcher Miller served as an Army Chaplin from 1943 - 1945 in the European theater of WWII. His letters home to his wife serve as the center piece of this amazing love story that still resonates with the Miller family and all those who are exposed to this history. The chronicling of these letters by one of their son's, Anthony Gerald Miller, saves the tenderness of this man towards his wife, and gives others the unique appreciation of the history of that war from a uniquely personal point of view. Gerald's letters home trace the many places the army unit Pastor Miller was serving, as the invasion to free Europe from the grip of Nazi Germany is underway. The letters are filled with wit and observations, that transport those who were not alive when this war was fought back into those days. The pastor's sense of duty and calling, and his unbridled love for his family sends a message that every generation needs to hear and hopefully emulate.
The story of Pastor Doris and Johnny tells of their love, faith, compassion, and the importance of family. Written and illustrated by Roy Juarez, Jr., their adopted son, to express his appreciation for their sacrifice to him and humanity.Pastor Doris is currently battling Alzheimer's disease, and while her memory is fading, the impact she made is sketched in the hearts of those who met her. Through these pages, her family can remind her of the gracious life she lived and the legacy she leaves behind.Pastor Doris and Johnny were ministers for over 30 years and served hundreds of families worldwide.Matthew 25:23
Despite her trailblazing efforts to represent the work of Canadian writers to publishers in North America and abroad, Doris Hedges (1896-1972), the Montreal author who started Canada's first literary agency in 1946, is routinely excluded from Canadian literary histories. In Who Was Doris Hedges? Robert Lecker provides a detailed account of her remarkable career. Hedges published several novels, short stories, and books of poetry, moved in Montreal literary circles, did a stint as a radio broadcaster, and provided reports to the Wartime Information Board during the Second World War, possibly as an American spy. She lived a privileged life in the Golden Square Mile district of downtown Montreal with her husband, Geoffrey Hedges, a member of the Benson and Hedges tobacco empire. The more one uncovers about Hedges's life, the more one discovers a courageous figure who was exploring many of the conflicted issues of her day: the rise of juvenile delinquency, the suppression of female sexuality, the place of women in business and finance, and the difficulties confronting the publishing industry in the years leading up to and following the war. Mixing lively biographical commentary with literary analysis, Who Was Doris Hedges? is a vivid account of a writer's life and concerns during a period when Canada's literature was coming of age.
In this first study of Doris Lessing's science fiction, Fishburn devotes a chapter to each of Lessing's seven novels. Her major argument is that Lessing uses these novels to change our perception of reality by describing worlds that are simultaneously similar to and different from our own. Of particular importance is the fact that each narrator, by functioning as an intermediary or guide-leader, helps skeptical readers to experience the alien worlds of Lessing's imagination. As she traces the development of these seven narrators, Fishburn shows how they eventually fulfill the role of the idealized author Lessing described in The Small Personal Voice. In examining how these texts challenge us to change, Fishburn discusses the influence of Marxist and Sufi thought on Lessing and also points out the striking similarity betwen Lessing's philosophy of wholeness and the discoveries of modern physics.
In Pursuit of Doris Lessing
Palgrave Macmillan
1990
sidottu
The phenomenon of Doris Lessing's global reputation and readership is addressed for the first time in In Pursuit of Doris Lessing through a series of essays that also provide a provocative overview of Lessing's long career from The Grass Is Singing, the first of a series of African and woman-centered politically radical works, to her latest galactic and politically conservative works. Nine different Lessings emerge from these essays, forcing us to question received propositions about the universality of literature and the stability of the text and uncovering and recovering in the process the pungent, variable, controversial Lessing who has been and remains as international and transcultural as she is African and English.
